After breakfast, the work at home was almost done, and Zhao Shen went to the town with Zhao Lan, who got up early.

Zhao Lan really wants to go!

However, the bowl lotus soaked in the water has already sprouted and has begun to grow small white roots, and it should be transplanted in another three to five days, and the small pond must be repaired quickly.

I didn't think about it before, I wanted to dig slowly, and I was not in a hurry to raise ducks, but it rained lightly and found that I had to wait until it was dry to dig after the rain. The light rain is fine, the next day the ground will be dry, if it rains heavily, it is estimated that it will become a canal, and if you want to dig down, you really have to wait for a long time. Either there is less rain in the winter.

Now it seems unrealistic to think about digging alone, you have to find someone to help. Who to look for? It's almost time to get busy with farming, and there are no idlers in the village.

"Sister Lan, what do you want?" The little bun that picked out the small stone on the ground and pressed it back suddenly asked.

Zhao Lan sat on the stone bench and held her chin and replied weakly: "Sister Lan wants to dig a big pit, Sister Lan has little strength to dig for a few days and has not dug well, I want to find someone with great strength to help me dig the pit." ”

Xiao Baozi pulled out a larger stone again, touched it curiously, looked up and said to Zhao Lan: "My father has a lot of strength, and he can lift me above his head with one hand, and it is best for you to find my father to dig a pit." ”

Xiao Baozi held the freshly picked out stone and gestured, as if he wanted Zhao Lan to understand how strong his father was.

Zhao Lan raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Baozi and asked, "Your father?" ”

The stone on the back of the tiger immediately appeared in front of Zhao Lan's eyes.

It's not a small strength to grow so strong, but the most important thing is to have time. Zhao Lan thought to herself.

Zhao Lan continued to ask, "Does your father have time?" ”

Xiao Baozi put down the stone and nodded and said, "Yes, there is a lot of time, and he has nothing to do to accompany me every day." Now that I have someone to play, I don't want him to accompany me. ”

This is a father who was abandoned by his son.

The stone family didn't seem to have any land, and he went out empty-handed back then, and he didn't ask for a piece of property. In the past few years, he has made a living by doing some carpentry and hunting.

Zhao Lan thought to herself: If there is no field, there will be no farming, so it is still possible for my father who came to Siqi to have time, so I will ask first.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Siqi ran home. Zhao Lan followed behind and stopped Siqi, who was running home.

Xiao Baozi stopped and said to Zhao Lan: "My father won't let me eat at your house." ”

Zhao Lan walked over and walked side by side with him and said, "I know, I'm going to your house to ask your father to help me dig a pit to see if your father has time." You go with me. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Baozi's voice in a dragging tone is very cute, "My dad has time!" In the past few days, he went to the mountains in the morning and came back at noon, and he had nothing to do in the afternoon, making some small stools to sell at the market. ”

Sold his father's private life so quickly. Zhao Lan thought happily.

Soon, chatting all the way to Siqi's house.

The door is ajar.

"Dad, I'm back."

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Baozi ran in, shouting as he ran: "Sister Lan is here too, Dad." ”

Zhao Lan followed behind and walked into the yard, the yard was still so clean, the difference was that there was a pheasant hanging under the eaves against the wall. The pheasant's feathers were shiny and colorful, and it was really beautiful, but it was a pity that he was dead.

I don't know if this pheasant is better than a domestic chicken. The gluttonous worm in Zhao Lan's stomach was ready to move again.

The father of the little bun was digging wood in the yard, and he was covered in wood. Hearing the shouts of the little buns, he had stopped his work and looked at Zhao Lan who had entered the courtyard.

Zhao Lan shouted: "Uncle, you're working!" ”

Shi put down his tools, dusted off the wood on his body, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lan'er?" ”

Zhao Lan asked straight to the point: "Some time ago, my family bought a piece of wasteland, and I discussed with my mother that I wanted to dig a pond to raise ducks. I don't know if Uncle has time to help dig it up. ”

"How big and how deep is the pond dug?"

Zhao Lan thought for a while and said, "It's about 10 steps wide, about 100 steps long, and less than half a zhang deep." ”

Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the field to see, although the pond dug is long but not wide, and the depth is not too deep, it is estimated that it will not take a few days." ”

Zhao Lan listened to Siqi's father agree to help, and happily proposed: "I know that my uncle is also busy, so if my uncle is free, I will ask for help to dig for a few days, and I will calculate it according to the salary in the town." ”

Shi listened but did not agree to Zhao Lan's proposal, but only said: "Siqi often goes to your house, there is a lot of trouble, so there is no need to give this salary." ”

"How can you not pay your wages? Can't let Shubai be busy? ”

"It's not in vain, Siqi often eats at your house. It saved me a lot of work. ”

"Siqi how much a villain can eat, this salary still has to be paid."

Shi no longer bothered with Zhao Lan about wages, but just made an appointment with Zhao Lan to look at the ground tomorrow afternoon to see where and how the pond was dug.

Zhao Lan saw that Siqi's father was not talking about not getting paid, and she was relieved, she was really not suitable for arguing with others. Moreover, after solving the matter of digging the pond, Zhao Lan was also a lot easier.

Zhao Lan, who returned from Siqi's house, seemed to have become much brisker.

"Zhao Lan"

"Hey!"

Zhao Lan, who was in a good mood, turned her head with a smile and said yes to the visitor.

Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color.

For the first time, Yuan He found that Zhao Lan's smile was so beautiful, so brilliant, as bright, soft and warm as the morning glow.

Zhao Lan felt that every time she watched Yuanhe, she always felt that she was very advantageous, her star-like face was close in front of her, so she didn't want to spend ticket money and watch it as long as she wanted. However, Zhao Lan doesn't chase stars, and always feels that stars are out of reach. Now looking at Yuanhe also seems to be out of reach, not in the same universe as the feeling.

Zhao Lan looked at Yuan He and thought about it.

Yuan He found that Zhao Lan was staring at him intently, and became a little expectant, with an expression on his face that wanted to say goodbye.

Yuanhe stopped Zhao Lan and didn't know what to say. It's just that he shouted out when he saw the urgency.

Perhaps, just want to meet. Perhaps, just to see her smile. Perhaps, I just want to hear her voice. Yuan He felt very satisfied to see her, see her smile and hear her voice like water and song, and he was very happy, and the dark clouds in his heart seemed to be blown away in an instant.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Lan broke the peace between each other.

Yuan He's face was white and red, and with Zhao Lan's questioning, his face was slightly offset by 15 degrees, his hands were nervously tugging at his cuffs, and he whispered, "It's nothing." ”

Zhao Lan stood for a while and was so caught in the sun that she couldn't open her eyes, so she said to Yuanhe: "It's okay, then I'll go back." ”

"Wait, wait......"

Hearing the voice, Zhao Lan, who turned around, turned around again and looked at Yuanhe with questions.

"Hmm,......" Yuan He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Lan, then lowered his head, and said after a while, "I heard that your family bought wasteland, do you want to help?" ”

Zhao Lan smiled, thanked and said, "Don't, your family is not in a hurry to do it slowly." Thank you! ”

Yuan He, who has never done farm work, can say such a thing, he must like Zhao Lan very much, what does he like Zhao Lan? A sister-in-law who doesn't like to talk. Zhao Lan couldn't figure it out, but rejected Yuanhe's proposal.

Yuan He blushed and said, "No, no thanks! ”

"Then I'll go back."

"Oh!" Won-ha replied with a slight disappointment in his voice.

Zhao Lan walked back quickly, but what she thought in her heart was: Really, the sun is too hot, and it seems that she has to dry off a layer of skin before stopping. If it's in the evening, I can talk to him more. Wonha's attitude seems to be different again. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good time.

Here, Lan'er asked Siqi's father to work.

Over there, Zhao Shen went to the town, got off the ox cart and went straight to Zhao Dazhuang's iron shop.

"Da Zhuang!" When he was about to reach the iron shop, Zhao Shen quickened his pace and shouted loudly.

Zhao Dazhuang stopped what he was doing, turned his face to see Zhao Shen with a smile on his face, and also pulled the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?" What about the kids? ”

"The children are all at home, Lan'er is watching! It's okay. Zhao Shen walked over, handed the towel to Zhao Dazhuang and said, "The little shovel you brought back to Lan'er last time is very useful." Do you know? Grandma Liu also wants to buy one. ”

"What?" Zhao Dazhuang was surprised.

Zhao Shen excitedly explained again: "Just the little shovel that Lan'er wants, Grandma Liu wants to buy one?" ”

"Grandma Liu wants to buy it?" Zhao Dazhuang repeated.

"Hmm!" Zhao Shen nodded heavily.

Zhao Dazhuang didn't believe it and asked again: "That little shovel is useful?" ”

"Useful, useful!" Zhao Shen's music blossomed, and his voice was a little excited, "That little shovel, don't look at it small, it's really easy to use, I grow beans at home, and I use it to homogenize the soil." It is particularly labor-saving, and the work is also very fast, especially the homogenized soil can be evenly and delicate. ”

"Really." Zhao Dazhuang still didn't believe it, and thought: If a child asks for flowers to grow flowers, can he still farm? Is it still very easy to use?

"Really, otherwise how would Grandma Liu buy it. I didn't expect anyone to buy it! Zhao Shen said with a reminiscence.

Zhao Shen thought for a while and said, "If you make two more, maybe there are other people who want to buy it." ”

Zhao Dazhuang felt that what Zhao Shen said was also reasonable, so he proposed: "Why don't you make one for Grandma Liu, and make two more to sell." If others don't buy it, there must be people in our village who want to buy it. ”

"Hey! Listen to you. ”

Zhao Shen finished talking to Zhao Dazhuang about the little shovel, and then told Zhao Dazhuang about Grandma Liu's introduction to Lan'er to the boys in the town.

"I pushed it in one bite, Lan'er is indeed still young, maybe there is still a shadow in Huzi's matter. I just thought, a few years later, when I'm older, I'll be more sensible and won't make mistakes. But Grandma Liu persuaded me to take a look, saying, 'It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, take a look.' 'Do you think I'm going to see it?' Zhao Shen asked Zhao Dazhuang hesitantly.

Zhao Dazhuang couldn't make up his mind.

In the end, the two did not make a decision.

Zhao Shen bought vegetables for Zhao Dazhuang, cooked, and sent food to Zhao Chun, and after learning that everything was fine with Zhao Chun, he hurried home.

"Aunt Zhao!"

"Hey!" Zhao Shen looked up and saw that it was the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Auntie has done the embroidery work so quickly?" ”

Zhao Shen hurriedly denied and said: "Not yet, if you have something to do in the town today, take a look at my son by the way." ”

"Is your family going to take the children's exam this year?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked.

Zhao Shen replied shyly: "If you plan to take the test, you don't know if you will be in the test or not." ”

"It's definitely going to happen." The shopkeeper said categorically.

Zhao Shen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said gratefully: "Then borrow your auspicious words!" The embroidery will be done in a few days, and when it is done, I will bring it to the shopkeeper. It was not early, so I said goodbye first, for fear that there would be no ox cart to sit on when it was late. ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "It's not early!" Hurry up and get on the bus! We'll talk about it next time. ”

Out of the alley of the embroidery shop, you will arrive at Huangshi Lane. In the distance, I saw a noodle shop.

Yellowstone Lane! Sell noodles!

Is this the only one!

Zhao Shen thought to himself: This is too coincidental!

Zhao Shen walked forward unhurriedly.

At the entrance of the store hangs the guise of "Shuji noodles". A very small façade with three tables in it. It was probably late in the evening, and there were no customers in the store.
